Grounded and Cannot Run or Hit the Gym Now - What to Do?

What to do? Change your lousy attitude you stupid punk. Calling your parents f*cking a holes and contemplating skipping your last class (hello? grades? You think skipping classes will help you get a track scholarship??) just prove how immature you are. Why don't you try studying hard, being respectful, and after a few weeks of this asking your parents politely if you could have an hour each day for running and the gym? That's the best idea I can give you.

Burpees and pushups.

Yard time.

Hours of them.

Apologize to your parents and mean it. Change your attitude and things will change for the better.

Coaches do not want a disrespectful team member.

OBEY YOUR PARENTS,

Like I always say, farting is the answer. Stink up the place so bad that they kick you out.

Respect my authoritay

Firstly it sounds like your parents don't understand that it can screw you for the rest of your life, so maybe i would sit down and talk to them and tell them that if you don't get a track scholarship they are going to end up having to pay student loans for you. Also, if you want to sneak out think like a professional, wake up earlier than them and go run. Tell your coach about this, maybe he/she can handle this, no kid should be deprived of running or any type of exercise, this kind of crap is what makes the youth depressed and end up committing suicide. Talk to your parents and tell them how important this is to you, and if you can't tell them they might as start picking out a coffin and say that you started running because you were depressed with your life, and it was your only scapecoat, your escapism. This is coming from a mind of a class A liar. Or you could explain to your coach that you started running because you were depressed with your home life and your parents took what you love away from you and you'd like your coach to try to get the grounding lifted. Think of something juicy man, there are so many ways to get out of this, you just have to think outside of the box.

Really?? No matter what?

Please refrain from giving this advice without knowledge of the circumstances.

Yeah, talk to them about the scholarship and the financial implications. Say you understand about being grounded for everything else (social activities) but see if there's a minimum of running you can do.

If not, look up body weight exercises and do them in your room, walk as much as you can outside and be as active as you can.

Also like someone else said can you run at lunch time.

Tell them you want to go to boot camp.

You don't know my parents or the situation, so stop acting like I am everything to blame in this situation. Also inner city public school is a flipping joke and my teachers in those periods are freaking dumb af anyways

This depends on if you actually have a shot at a scholarship or if you aren't as good as you think you are. But, if you have a real chance at a track scholarship then your parents are the wrong ones in this situation. No way they should stop you from training. Social situations I can live with.

Either

A) figure out a way to go to school early or stay late to train

B) emancipate before they ruin your life by forcing you into school debt

Haha best answer he can easily get out of this

Buy a treadmill on amazon or run in place

Do 50 x 40 pushups each day

Do 25 x 50 situps each day.

Dude, this is true. You aren't getting a scholarship with a pissy point of view. I don't care whose fault it was --coaches won't put up with that crap. They'll see you as a whiner and a troublemaker and you'll be cut from the team so fast it will make your head spin. If you skip classes your grades will suck and bye bye scholarship. Ask your parents politely and without attitude if you can have an hour after school each day to run. Nothing social, just run. Tell them you hope it will help you get into college. Be prepared for them to say no and don't get worked up about it. Just try again in another week.

you are right John. I do not know the circumstances. However, obey your parents stands.

I'm not telling you to tell us what you did to get grounded, but it is hard to offer advice without knowing the severity. Seems severe so either a troll, you really eff'd up or your parents are truly a-holes by standing in the way of something that may directly affect your college plans.

If this is all on the level, I would suggest having a conversation with them after some time has passed (week or more) and with you being on good, although not annoyingly so, behavior, explaining the long term implications of not being able to run/lift. Maybe offer to extend the grounding from social things to 3 months if they let you run/lift.

If your infraction had something to do with running/lifting, then you're on your own. I would not, at least in the short term, violate the grounding.

Snuck out to see girlfriend and do some late night cross training with a partner, I am guessing

In all honesty, it won't affect your FITNESS.

Think about it:

- you go to the gym, you lift weights, you gain muscle

- you go for a run, you destroy muscle

In the end, what you did was a zero sum game. No gain whatsoever.

By just sitting on the couch, nothing has changed.
